«Divinas Palabras» is the tragicomedy by Ramón del Valle-Inclán, published in paperback by Austral in 1999 (176 pages, in Spanish).
The work is set in a Galician village and follows the dispute between Marica del Reino and Mari-Gaila over a crippled dwarf they exhibit at fairs and pilgrimages, while the latter carries on an adulterous relationship with a puppeteer. The tension between the tragic and the comic is resolved in a shouting dialogue that culminates in a halo of pity.
This edition from Austral's Clásica collection includes an introduction and editing by Gonzalo Sobejano. The work, subtitled village tragicomedy, was originally published in 1919.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish theatre and in the work of one of the great authors of the Generation of '98.
Spanish playwright, novelist and poet, creator of the 'esperpento' style and author of Bohemian Lights and Tirano Banderas.
